- Comment on Neo-Nazi music festival cancelled after backlash from locals 2 weeks ago:
I am not surprised it happened in “not that great yarmouth”.
My mum and dad retired there in the late 80’s
Over 25 years visiting them, and years taking the kids to visit and spend days on the beaches.
I never once saw a black or brown person.
Proper racist white place. Unemployment is high, Only summer seasonal work available.
A classic case of, My life is shit poor, so it must be due to the foreigners stealing the jobs. It must be true, I heard it on GB news and read it in the Daily mail.
Nothing to do with Government policies of course.
The youngsters I spoke to, were frightened of travelling to London, because they believed they would get stabbed by a black person.
The only foreign people I heard of in Norfolk were the cheap labour, Portuguese living and working on farms.
- Comment on Under-16s to be banned from buying high-caffeine energy drinks including Monster 2 weeks ago:
I dont think the kids are bothered about some caffeine hit.
They can still buy some weed, Ghb, MDMA, ketamine and charlie on the street.
- Comment on Lush temporarily closes all UK stores in 'solidarity with Gaza' 2 weeks ago:
The Mrs is going to stink for a few days.
I usually get her a Lush gift card for christmas.
Back to fairy liquid bath bombs and fairy liquid shampoo for me.
- Comment on Sainsbury’s tests facial recognition technology in effort to tackle shoplifting 2 weeks ago:
Big business has always had the ability to write off millions in tax losss against, shoplifting, theft by staff, and theft by customers. They are insured against the losses too, so its a win win if a shoplifter steals something.
Im pro shoplifter. they are necessary for society, they provide moral guidance through the ten commandments. Thou shall not steal, unless we are hungry, or desperate to feed our alcohol and heroin addiction.
The campaign against shoplifters has been going for quite a while now.
Its the same as taking away out rights in the name of protecting our children.
Sainsbury’s can’t say they are installing a surveillence system to protect our children. So its the next scary thing, “shoplifters”.
I feel sorry for the granny’s watching the BBC news, frightened to go out in case a shoplifter steals their handbag.
Can’t be that many out there roaming the wild streets of Airstrip One. Lurking outside multimillion pound annual profit supermarkets.
I am 69 years old and have only seen one shoplifter in all my life.
- Comment on Driver claims cyclist punched him in face and threw bike at car, causing £1,000 worth of damage, after motorist hit him “at about 2mph” 2 weeks ago:
Bicycle rage!
Its on the increase, skinny, still living at home with mum, tour de france bois, attacking car drivers.
He came out of nowhere guv. He was on his mobile guv, and didnt see me.
I enjoy watching a good old straightener on the roadside. Bicycle pumps at dawn.
Skinny bicycle cunt punches obese car driver
Men dont scrap enough these days. Its important for us to fight each other. Its part of the development of the male hierachy. stops the muppets thinking they are at the top of the ladder. Sorts the men from the boys.
Where I live, The tour de france bois are out in force every weekend. It is a nightmare.
Thinking they own the road, pay no road tax, 4 abreast across the road, spaced out so much you cant overtake.
The cunts never get out of the way.
Its not cycling, its a poxy fashion parade.
They’ve all got the latest gear.
Pointy seats jammed up their arses. silly helmets and rainbow coloured sunglasses. cock protectors. All, nodding their little heads in unison. Who are they trying to impress!
Delusions of grandeur. Pretending to be riding in a professional tour de france team. Tossers!
If I get a positive cancer diagnosis next week, I’m going to take one out before I die, just touch his rear wheel with my front bumper while he’s riding at 30 MPH. Watch that dick head fly over the handle bars. Beautiful.
oi oi savaloy, I didnt touch you muppet. On your bike son!

- Comment on Coventry council to use Palantir AI in social work, Send and children’s services 2 weeks ago:
This is only going to add to the already mass failure in childrens social care.
Social work used to be an extremely good recognised profession.
The modern failures in child protection we hear about in the news, is solely down to government policies. Not social workers.
There used to be the DipSW (Diploma in Social Work) which was dismantled in favour of a degree in social work. The first failure of many.
In the old days, most of the social workers I came into contact with were women. Women, who had raised their own familes, and had a vast amount of life experience, dealing with life and other families. They had heard and seen it all, from the alcoholic abusive husband, to the violent mentally ill child.
These social workers were absolutely perfect for working in children’s social services.
Then, the government of the day, I think it was a tory, decided that they would do away with the DipSW and instead decided, that to work in children’s social services you had to have a university degree.
so what happened?
Most of the experienced social workers left social care, only to be replaced by very young newly qualified degree students who had just left university.
While it is a wonderful experience gaining a degree, it is does not prepare you for a life dealing with manipulative family child abusers.
reading the list of preferred books while on a degree course and writing a few 3000 word essays, does not prepare you to work in children’s social care or child protection services.
You cannot expect a 23 year old to be able to manage a manipulative abuser. Nothing can prepare them for the; violence, neglect, physical abuse, psychological abuse or sexual abuse that goes on in abusive families. But this is exactly what is expected of them
On the other hand, an abuser would have great difficulty manipulating an older, wiser, more experienced, been there, seen it, done it, DipSW qualified social worker, compared to a 23 year old who has just come out of university.
AI in social work and children’s services!
what a total fuck up that will be.
- Comment on Baby food firms given 18 months to improve quality of products in England 2 weeks ago:
Have you ever tasted baby food.
I would not serve it to a starving dog, It tastes disgusting.
When my babies transitioned from the breast to solid food, I made all my baby food for my kids, with organic produce, spent a few hours each weekend making it, then froze it in little containers, so we had plenty to fall back on, in case the baby was extra hungry.
The meals were initially vegetarian meals, then I started adding in different cooked meats, finely ground chicken and beef etc.
As they got older, I would whizz up the food that my wife and I were eating. for instance, If I made a shepherds pie or spaghetti bolognese. I used to whizz some of that up for the kids.
For the sweet puddings, I used to buy fresh fruit, whizz it up in a food processor, or simmer some apples in some water until soft, and mixed it with my home made greek yoghurt or home made egg custard.
Home made greek yoghurt, is made from natural yoghurt, by pouring it into a fine seive, and leaving it for a few hours until all the whey has drained out. super tasty thick greek yoghurt. perfect for little growing kids. they love it.
On the plus side it trains your kids to like proper home made food, and not get used to factory, mass produced, processed shit.
Home made baby food is as cheap as chips, super healthy and super easy. Babies dont eat much.
Proper tasty grub for kids.

- Comment on More than 280,000 crimes unrecorded last year, watchdog finds 2 weeks ago:
One of thise BBC’s brainless stories that doesn’t make sense.
How did they find this figure of More than 280,000 crimes, out if the offences were unrecorded?
The article clearly states:
Unrecorded crimes are incidents that are reported to the police, but not recorded as offences, which often leads to no further action being taken.
Maybe they simply were not offences, just busy body, curtain twitchers, who have watched far too many TV (Copaganda) police shows. They always get their man on TV.
An example:
I look out of my window and see a couple of youths, got to be youths hasn’t it, hanging around, listening to music, wearing hoodies, they look like they are smoking something. could it be a joint (showing my age now).
I call the police and report them. The truth is, I really dont like young people.
Nothing is done. The police put the phone down and think, what a fucking waste of time, we have far better things to do.
so they dont record it, because it is not a criminal offence.
I do not want our police wasting their valuable time recording engagements with people. I want them to record criminal offences that meet the legal definition of a criminal offence.
I am sure, that if a crime has been committed the police would do their job, arrest you, take your finger prints and charge you. They dont just let you go and not record it.
- Comment on Angela Rayner set to hit English councils that block new housing with tougher sanctions 2 weeks ago:
This will only work if the right to buy is abolished.
Would you build a load of new properties, only to have to sell them off.
With right to buy removed, Councils will build new social housing.
Not “Affordable housing” scams, which the wealthly snap up with cheap mortgages, let them out for extortionate monthly rents, with the renters paying the mortgage, and they still make money from the ever increasing value of the property. Completely untaxed.
While we have people screaming out for somewhere decent to live, and we still have right to buy and no social housing for them.
Obscene abuse of the housing system.
labour looking like tories every day they are in power.
I remember a time when councils up and down the country had a homeless person units within their housing department. remember those that helped people find a home.
- Comment on Kemi Badenoch: I’d go further than Farage and deport women and children 3 weeks ago:
Of course she will, said the right wing tory muppet supporting newspaper, stirring up hatred and division.
It will be in the daily mail in a few days, to keep the anger and hatred fresh in people’s minds.
The telegraph is now owned by some american hustle company Redbird.
In May this year, RedBird Capital, an investment management firm, bought the stake owned by Emirati royal Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Sultan al-Nahyan who had bankrolled an earlier bid.
RedBird Capital owns AC Milan.
Top quality meaningless reporting.
- Comment on Tony Blair attends White House meeting with Trump on postwar Gaza 3 weeks ago:
finally the two warmongers meet
Tony will tell some lies about weapons of mass descruction that the Palestinians have tucked away, and we will dive into the next war, As a precursor to invading Iran.
After all it is 22 years since warmonger Tony ignited the flames of war in the middle east, with his bullshit claims of WMD’s.
good ole Tony!
The Chilcot report in 2016 revealed the extent to which Blair manipulated (or even fabricated) evidence and distorted reality in a desperate bid to justify the war.
Smug looking cunt!
- Comment on Mounjaro maker pauses shipments of weight-loss drug to UK 3 weeks ago:
Hey Flamekebab
Of course there will be instances where any drug will be of benefit to that person.
It is common for women to carry a little weight after birth.
She needs all those extra nutrients to support baby.
I am just very anti big pharma. I have seen far too much damage caused by fantasy drugs, since the introduction of Prozac (Fluoxetine) in the late 1980’s, working in substance misuse and in my practice as a psychotherapist.
For instance, the overprescribing of anti-depressants for the natural human experience of sadness is not OK with me. Sadness, because of death or loss is not clinical depression.
I am an existentialist and strongly believe that all people should take responsibility for their lives.
This also includes not relying on any medication to lose weight, which ultimately is avoiding the main issue at hand.
best of luck with young new addition to the world
- Comment on Mounjaro maker pauses shipments of weight-loss drug to UK 3 weeks ago:
Which can only be a good thing.
All these weight loss drugs remind me of methadone.
I was a care coordinator and methadone dispenser for 15 years.
Methadone, was developed by the Nazi’s in WW2 because the alies managed to prevent the importation of Morphine into Germany. The Nazi’s had no choice but to developed the synthetic drug Methadone to replace Morphine on the battlefield.
When a person is addicted to heroin and wants to quit. He has two choices, a maintenance prescription or a reduction prescription.
The idea of the maintenance prescription is to maintain the addiction by giving the user enough methadone so he does not experience withdrawal symptom and can engage in life without constantly getting involved in crime and unsafe practices by using and buying heroin. If the user stops taking his methadone prescription he will have to start using heroin again to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
The idea of the reduction prescription, is to slowly reduce the amount of methadone down to zero, over a period of time, so the user can be clean and free of heroin.
Weight loss drugs are like a methadone maintenance prescription.
In that it may reduce the overall weight of the person for short period, but ultimately the person is still reliant on the weight loss drug to reach their goals. This is an addiction.
Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge (to lose weight) to use a drug or engage in a behavior that produces natural reward (weight loss) despite substantial harm and other negative consequences.
Like heroin addicts stopping methadone and returning to heroin, those who are overweight will put on weigh as soon as the weight loss drug is stopped. So there is a great need to continue with the addictive drug.
Just like the cycle of change.
- Comment on NHS to lose out on new drugs, pharma firm warns 3 weeks ago:
So, the UK, as one of the most wealthy countries in the world is ill equiped and doesn’t have the resources or talent to make its own medicines.
The NHS is more privatised that we care to think.
An example:
I have just had an ENT (ear nose and throat) appointment at my local hospital because I cannot hear in my left ear
The waiting room wasn’t packed solid, staff were friendly, there was calm and efficiency all around, Unlike other waiting rooms I have visited.
I had a scan, all was OK. its just old age.
I had a long chat with the ENT specialist.
He told me that the building I had my NHS appointment in, was in fact a private part of the hospital.
hidden within the grounds of an NHS hospital, hiding in plain sight with NHS signage, is a privatised hospital wing.
He told me about the extreme costs that the NHS has to pay because of having to use prefered approved providers (politically connected suppliers) for all its medical equipment.
He pointed at all the medical machines (monty python, machines that go ping) in the room and said that his brother, a specialist in private practice, has exactly the same medical devices in his Slovakian practice that cost him £5,000.
Whereas the NHS has to pay up to £100,000 for exactly the same devices, because they are unable to source cheaper suppliers. they have restrictive contracts that forbids them from buying cheaper and better products from another supplier.
He told me that this is what is drainig NHS coffers of money that should be going to patient care.
Another case of hidden politically driven VIP lanes draining the NHS of its funding.
- Comment on Reeves ‘plots tax raid on landlords’ to help plug £40bn Budget black hole 3 weeks ago:
I agree with Novamdomum
35 years ago, I used to have my own business, designing, bulding and installing high end bathrooms.
Marble, natural stone, sunken baths, steam rooms, HansGrohe shower heads and multi jet systems etc etc.
You know, the muppets who could afford to pay £400 for a pair of gold plated basin taps and import marble directly from Italy.
I got a phone call one day from a Property developer, who asked me if I would be interested in creating a contract with him to maintain his property portfolio.
I drove to his big gaff in Weybridge and we discussed his proposals.
He said, he had just bought 19 properties at a new build in Feltham High street near the train station.
I looked into these properties, They were built and sold as “affordable housing” for the local residents.
This guy had bought 19 of them, specifically to rent out to Heathrow airport staff. at rents £1,000 a month more than the council were charging.
I turned him down! I’m a socialist who believes in an equal society, not a money grabbing tory.
This is what affordable housing is really about.
The first time I heard the words “affordable housing” coming from a lying MP’s lips, I knew it was a con.
Its not social housing, which the country lacks and desperately needs, but another means for the wealthy to make more money.
Landlords are ultimately very rich people. Typically, always moaning about being poor and not having enough.
How about just tax their personal earnings at 80% basic rate, rather than the rental properties they own, which will only be passed on to the renters.
If you own more than one house, your tax burden goes up incrementally on a per house basis. If you own two house, you pay an extra 10% tax, if you own 4 houses you pay 20% extra tax and so on, all the way up to 80% for the wealthiest.
Imagine all those properties that were bought 30 years ago, who’s 25 year mortgages are now fully paid off by the renters.
Landlords have made an absolute fortune, not only have renters paid their mortgages for them, but they have also made an obscene amount of money on the increased value of all the properties they own, over 30 years.
They should all fuck off, give their properties back to the people, and live happily on the money they have ripped off from the renters.
- Comment on Spelthorne Borough Council Public Space Protection Order 3 weeks ago:
Hey Daniel Quinn
I agree with you.
We have already seen “Hostile environment” being used by the previous government, to pressurise immigrants out of the country, now they are using the same tactics on kids.
What always amazes, me is that there are people who invest time and money inventing those things.
Clearly with zero empathy or understanding of their fellow man.
My personal gripe in Spelthorne is the state of the roads. The council for years had been using poor quality road stone and tarmac. They have intentionally used the cheaper large road stone, instead of the smaller recommended road stone, the larger stone drastically increases the road noise.
Why? Because they wasted our money on failed property developments to earn a few extra quid.
Thats why there are no birds and no morning chorus in my area.
I do prefer your way. replacing ads with public art, roads with bike infrastructure.
I could live with that.
